A live transparency page at /auth/status/ showing the platform's health in real time. Council coverage, daily scrape activity, recent network events. The kind of thing trust requires — you can see exactly what's running, when each council last refreshed, and the operational pulse without asking us.
The "average days to decision" number on every workspace, council profile, and public SEO council page was being inflated by historical archive records (some decided years ago, only recently appearing in the dataset). A new shared filter excludes those, so the figure now reflects current decision velocity — not the long tail.
Manchester City Council decommissioned its Idox portal in late April and migrated to a new Arcus-based system. Within weeks, we'd reverse-engineered the new portal's filter payload, integrated it, and backfilled the 30 days of submissions that landed in the gap.
arcusbe.manchester.gov.uk — clean URL handling for the new domainMost councils publish planning conditions in PDF attachments rather than HTML. We now parse those automatically — pulling out individual numbered conditions, classifying them as trackable (requires a discharge application) or compliance-only, and surfacing them in the workspace condition cards.
The platform is markedly faster, particularly on agent profile pages and portfolio rollups.
Council planning condition documents include a lot of generic boilerplate text (statutory notices, advice, standard footers) that previously appeared as "conditions" in the workspace. Cleaned up the parser regex and removed 3,450 boilerplate rows from the live dataset — workspace condition cards now show only enforceable conditions.
My Leads is no longer a save list. It's a full deal pipeline — shared across your team, with threaded notes, follow-up reminders, and a live activity feed per lead. The kind of thing you'd normally bolt on with a separate tool you never quite sync with Metis. Now it's just there.
When a council discharges a condition or rules one isn't required, that's a distinct outcome — not an approval, not a withdrawal. MetisOS now tracks those as standalone decision statuses, and alert rules can target them directly.
A persistent notification feed in the top nav, covering everything that needs your attention — status changes on saved applications, lead assignments, @mentions in notes, follow-up reminders, and new matches from your monitoring rules. The count badge updates every 30 seconds without a page refresh.
Councils write planning references in at least 12 different ways. We now recognise all of them — and automatically link discharge of conditions applications back to their parent permission.
Project Workspace — the full-lifecycle tracker for parent permissions, discharge conditions, amendments, and council decision-time intelligence — is now included with every Team plan. Previously enterprise-only.
Nothing flashy, but the kind of work that matters.
A dedicated workspace for enterprise teams tracking large or complex planning projects from submission through to implementation. Rather than treating each application as a standalone lead, the workspace gives you the full lifecycle in one place — parent permissions, discharge conditions, related amendments, and the decision record for the council your project sits in.
You can now sign in to MetisOS with your Google or Microsoft account. Enterprise organisations get full SAML 2.0 support — configure your own identity provider once and your team signs in without ever creating a MetisOS password.
Enterprise accounts now get programmatic access to the full MetisOS dataset via a REST API, with bearer token authentication, per-minute rate limiting, and a token management dashboard. Enterprise organisations can also white-label the platform with their own logo and display name.
MetisOS now supports multiple users under a single organisation. Every seat gets full Professional access, and the lead pipeline is shared across the whole team — so no one chases the same applicant twice.
Saved applications are now a full deal pipeline. Every bookmarked lead can be moved through five stages and annotated with private notes — no separate CRM, spreadsheet, or Trello board required.
The morning email briefing was rebuilt from scratch. It now groups new leads and status change notifications in a single clean email, with a prominent hero lead and up to two secondary leads.
Every application detail page now includes a live map showing the site location, plus nearby applications within a 1km radius. Useful for understanding site context and spotting related development activity in the same street or block.
You can now track a specific architect or agent across every council we monitor — not just one area. One click on the "Track this agent" button on any application detail page creates a cross-council rule and automatically backfills the last 90 days of their submissions.
MetisOS launched with a full stack of planning intelligence tools for UK property professionals — live alert monitoring, AI cost estimation, and first-time user onboarding.
